Chapter 225: The Tyrannical Jun Clan

"Damn it! This self-harming bastard! We are in big trouble now!"

Lei Shun's face was iron-blue, and he suddenly shouted: "I'll go catch that old emperor and hold him hostage to get out of the city. We might still have a glimmer of hope!"

After speaking, he turned around and prepared to look for that old emperor.

Long Dan shook his head and smiled miserably: "It's useless. That old emperor just died. I don't know how he died."

"It's truly a coincidence. It seems that Heaven wants to destroy me!"

Lei Shun stopped his footsteps, turned his head stiffly, and his face was as ugly as it could be.

Long Dan suddenly showed a ferocious look and said sharply: "Now all cities around are dispatching troops to support the Imperial City. If we continue to stay here, we will only wait for more and more troops. The only outcome is death."

"Now the only way left for us is to wade through the human sea and kill our way out of the 200,000 army. The longer we drag it out, the more unfavorable it will be for us."

"Let's separate and escape now. Whoever can escape, escapes. There is no other way."

Hearing this, everyone's mood became heavy.

Killing through the 200,000 army and rushing out, how easy is it?

You must know that there are still 10,000 Gu Cultivators and body cultivators outside.

What's more, there is still the formation barrier of the Imperial City blocking it. No matter how fast you are, you can't rush out. You still need a lot of time to break the formation.

You don't kill a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood here, don't think about going out.

No matter how strong they are, they are still humans. No matter how well they can fight, they will be exhausted to death here. Even if these people can rush out today, not many will be left.

The crowd gradually showed a look of despair, and their hearts were filled with fear of death.

Bai Youran's act of destroying the Straw Gu Hut was completely forcing them into a dead end. They had nowhere to go.

Also when everyone's expression was dull, the Five Ghosts Moving Mountain Great Formation could no longer withstand the attack of the 200,000 army and shattered with a bang.

After the barrier shattered, the 200,000 Forbidden Army outside rushed into the Imperial Palace like a tide, and the dense footsteps were everywhere.

The dense footsteps sounded from far to near, getting louder and louder, knocking on everyone's heart.

"Hahaha... If the head falls, it's just a bowl-sized scar. What are you afraid of? Brothers, follow me and kill!"

Shi Kun suddenly laughed wildly and rushed towards the

"Damn it! Fight! Even if I die, I'll drag ten thousand people down with me. If you want to die, just come! Even if I die, I'll kill to my heart's content!"

Lei Shun gave a miserable laugh, a flash of lightning erupted from his body, and he charged madly toward the army of two hundred thousand!

"Brothers! Let's be brothers in the next life! Follow me and kill!"

Long Dan roared, transformed into his half-dragon form, and smashed heavily into the army. Instantly, a crowd flew up, miserable screams echoed in the air, and wherever the humanoid monster passed, the ground became a living hell.

The others were also infected by these few people, and after a loud roar, they also charged into the army coming from all directions.

For a time, the army was in chaos; the lethality produced by the twenty-plus geniuses going mad was terrifying.

The mortal army was slaughtered like dry wood and rotten grass, dying in droves. In the blink of an eye, the ground was already covered in corpses.

The army of two hundred thousand was forcefully carved into several long passages by this group of geniuses, and these passages were approaching the city-protecting great array outside the city at an astonishing speed.

"Kill! Kill for me!"

Under the command of a group of mortal dignitaries, those recruited Gu cultivators and body cultivators also joined the battlefield, mixed into the army, and launched a siege on these twenty-plus geniuses.

This group of people was far, far stronger than the mortal imperial guards. With their addition, the pressure on the geniuses multiplied.

Long Xuan threw a punch at the fist of a body cultivator at the peak of Essence Refining. A massive internal force surged out, instantly shattering the body cultivator's heart. The corpse flew backward, knocking down dozens of imperial guards, instantly clearing a path in front.

At this moment, another long blade hacked at his shoulder from behind, but under the defense of the Soul Armor, the person sneaking an attack from behind was unable to break his defense at all, and instead had their neck snapped by Long Xuan's backhand, falling heavily to the ground.

The Gu cultivators and body cultivators mixed in the mortal world were simply too weak; not a single one could survive a single move at his hands.

In just a few breaths, Long Xuan had easily disposed of more than ten Gu cultivators and body cultivators, their corpses lying scattered on the ground.

"Heavenly Demon Soul Devouring Technique! All of you die!"

Long Xuan roared, his split soul flew madly out of his body, instantly completing possession of the early-stage Essence Refining Gu cultivators around him whose soul power was weaker than his split soul, and led them to pounce into the crowd and self-destruct. Following more than ten deafening explosions, the Gu cultivators and body cultivators besieging him were basically wiped out.

The survivors all turned pale, their eyes filled with terror, and they stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to besiege this fierce star.

When had they ever seen such a ruthless person who killed those of the same rank like chopping melons and vegetables? They were all scared out of their wits and scrambled to run backward.

In order to break out as quickly as possible, Long Xuan was no longer prepared to hide his strength and attacked with full force.

He only intended to use thunderous means to shock this group of Gu cultivators and body cultivators, then break out of the imperial guard's encirclement at the fastest speed, break the city-protecting great array, and escape.

This was not difficult for him; breaking out of the encirclement was easy, and breaking the city-protecting great array under the Heavenly Mechanism Eye was also easy. This situation did not yet pose a threat to him.

However, his expression at this time was not relaxed, because for him, an easy thing, was it very difficult for Long Dan?

After his half-dragon transformation, he could forcefully withstand all damage and charge out of the encirclement. Under the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye, he could also easily find the flaws in the array and break it in one blow.

If he were not here, could this variable really become a dead end for Long Dan and take his life?

Long Xuan revealed a solemn expression; he dared not underestimate the terrifying combat power of this Western Lands' first genius. This variable could absolutely not become his dead end.

Therefore, the great crisis that Li Laodao had a premonition of was probably not this variable; more and even more dangerous variables might appear later. What was about to happen next was what was truly life-threatening.

Long Xuan instantly became nervous, using vigilant eyes to watch his surroundings at all times, preventing the danger that could appear at any moment.

And just as he was about to break out of the encirclement, the variable truly came.

His path was suddenly blocked by a handsome youth, the corners of whose mouth curled with a smile. He was not shocked by his methods at all, but instead revealed intense fighting intent.

"Hehe! Impressive! Impressive! Is this the monster ranked third on the Western Lands' Monster List? It really lives up to its reputation."

"That move of yours is very strong, but it can only scare those Gu cultivators in the mortal world."

"Your split soul can only possess people whose soul power is much weaker than the split soul, and your split soul is at most at the mid-stage Essence Refining level; possessing a mid-stage Essence Refining cultivator is already difficult."

"It just so happens that the Gu cultivators in the mortal world are the ones with the worst willpower; their soul power is far weaker than Gu cultivators of the same rank, so you can kill wantonly in this world. No matter how many people come, it's not enough for you to kill."

"Your Split Soul Great Art is completely ineffective against me. If this is your strongest means, then you can only stay here today."

Long Xuan narrowed his eyes, looked at the person blocking his front, and said, "Who is your Excellency? You don't look like a Gu cultivator from this country, right?"

"Since you have nothing to do with this country, then please make way."

Seeing this person's luxurious attire and refined temperament, Long Xuan had already guessed that this person was definitely not a trash Gu cultivator driven by mortal dignitaries. His combat power was completely different from the group of Gu cultivators he had just fought; he was probably not easy to deal with.

"I am Jun Zaitian, from Zhongchuan in the Central Region. This journey is to defeat the first genius of each of the Western Regions' Thirty-Six Lands."

"The current record is thirty-five wins and zero losses. The Western Lands is my final battle."

"It's just that the major teleportation arrays nearby were suddenly disabled, so I could only pass through here on foot."

"However, since the geniuses of the Western Lands are all here, there is no need for me to pass through here to the Western Lands."

"Originally, I was looking for the Western Lands' first genius, Long Dan, but I see that your level seems to be stronger than his, so I'll start with you first."

After looking around, he laughed arrogantly again: "I see that there's no need to sign a life-and-death duel in this situation. You should make your move first! Save yourself from having no chance to make a move."

Hearing this, Long Xuan's face darkened. Could it be such a coincidence? He could actually encounter such a thing, and it just happened to be at this time. Was he blocking a disaster for Long Dan?

This person had actually run through all the major regions and defeated the first genius of each. Then just how strong was he? Did he not check the almanac when he went out? He had inexplicably encountered such a terrifying existence.

At this time, Long Dan twisted the neck of a peak Essence Refining Gu cultivator, turned his head to look over here, and hurriedly shouted: "Be careful, this person is ruthless in sparring; the geniuses who have fought him have basically all been crippled."

"When fighting him, you must not hold back; directly use your strongest trump card to annihilate him. Don't worry about the forces behind him seeking revenge!"

"The Jun Clan's family rules are that every genius must travel around challenging geniuses from all sides after coming of age. The one with the most wins will become the clan's core genius. If they die, they die! Blame yourself for having no ability! There are not a few Jun Clan geniuses killed every year due to failed challenges."

"If you dare to hold back against this ruthless character, then the one who dies will definitely be you! Don't blame me for not reminding you!"

Hearing this, Long Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly. He was looking for him just for a spar; he really knew how to pick his time.

At this moment, he was encountering a life-and-death crisis; where would he have time to spar with him?

But is this person really the variable that could take Long Dan's life? Can he really beat the complete version of the Evil Dragon Emperor Eye? One must know that Long Dan has the Limit Gu, and who knows how many Gu worms that have broken their limits he still has on him.

Could it be that this variable is another feint, and there are even bigger variables later?

Long Xuan took a deep breath; there are quite a few variables, and it seems endless.

"You have already seen my current situation; I don't have time to compete with you. After I charge out, how about we find a quiet place to have a good competition?" Long Xuan asked tentatively.

Jun Zaitian revealed an impatient expression and said impatiently: "There's no need for that. You are a dead man whether you get out of here today or not, so there's no need to waste time."

"If you want to walk out of here, you can only kill me first."

"You didn't make use of the chance I gave you to strike first. If I strike first, you won't have a chance to strike! Kneel down for me!"

A black eye suddenly split open in the center of Jun Zaitian's brow, emitting an eerie light. Under this eye, Long Xuan only felt a great mountain pressing on his body. His knees went soft, and he almost knelt on the ground.

It was only because his Purgatory True Demon Art required jumping into magma to court death, which resulted in an extremely strong body-refining effect, that he could rely on his solid physical fitness to withstand the suddenly appearing gravity; otherwise, he would have definitely made a fool of himself today.

Long Xuan finally became angry at this time and directly used the divine ability of the Purgatory True Demon Art. Once the divine ability was released, the two dharma aspects of the Divine Dragon and the Golden Crow suddenly appeared in the sky out of thin air.

The Divine Dragon emitted endless pressure, and the Golden Crow flickered with dazzling golden light.

The Golden Crow spread its wings and appeared in mid-air. The temperature of the entire venue instantly soared. Under the roasting of the high temperature, the massive imperial guards covered their eyes with their hands one after another and retreated madly.

The field around Long Xuan instantly emptied.

With the blessing of the two dharma aspects, Long Xuan instantly felt two massive forces suddenly surge into his body, causing his strength to climb step by step.

The powerful gravity that had just made him unable to breathe now suddenly felt like it had disappeared. At this moment, he felt that the surrounding gravity was just like a drizzle, having no effect on him at all.

Looking at the one Divine Dragon and one Golden Crow dharma aspects that suddenly appeared in the sky, emitting endless power, Long Dan revealed a look of shock.

Doesn't the Long Clan's town-clan cultivation method, "Reverse Dragon Art," only summon one dharma aspect? How can he have two dharma aspects? How on earth did he do it?

Jun Zaitian also revealed a look of surprise. Wherever his Gravity Pupil's line of sight reached, the gravity of the terrain would change, and the closer to him, the stronger the gravity.

Long Xuan was just too close to him just now. That he could use basic physical strength to withstand the gravity was already enough to surprise him. He didn't expect that he could also unimaginably summon two dharma aspects, making his physical strength treat his gravity as nothing.

"Interesting! Interesting! Every time my Gravity Pupil opens, most geniuses are pressed down by gravity."

"A few geniuses who focus on body refining also have difficulty moving and act slowly under gravity, only to be slaughtered by me."

"You are the first genius so far who can completely ignore the influence of my Gravity Pupil!"

"In terms of physical strength, among all those of the same rank in the entire Gu World, no one can surpass you. I am willing to call you the strongest!"

"I'd like to see how many moves you can last in my hands!"

Jun Zaitian revealed an excited expression, his demeanor becoming more and more frantic. After a wild laugh, he rushed toward Long Xuan rapidly...
